BY JANE PATRICK
Student organizations representing the many facets
of campus life are pitching in to make this year's
Founder's Day celebration a success. The net result of all
the planning is an entire week of Falderal activities.
SGA president Sean O'Kane is impressed with
everyone's cooperative spirit, and he said, "It's beginning
to shape up into what I think will be the best Founder's
Day yet. I hope we'll set up a precedent because we're
bringing t usual events that the students can participate
in."
The N.C. Folk Life Institute is sponsoring
appearances by musicians and craftspeople from
throughout the state. Jim Lancaster and the Elliott Hall
staff are working with the Alumni Association to arrange
the institute's program. The artisans and craftspeople
will be in the Quad from noon until sundown on
Saturday. Craftspeople will demonstrate the techniques
of quilting, woodcarving, moonshining, pottery, and
basketry. Folk-life musicians will feature such
attractions as the Spivey's Corner hollering champion,
Leonard Emmanuel, and old-time musicians.
The Faculty Wives Committee will host the Piedmont
Craftspeople's Association on Saturday. Exhibitions will
be held between the library and the dining hall on Gray
DTive. Also, the new craft center at 520 Sterling St. will
be officially opened.
Elliott Hall and the University Concert/Lecture Series
are sponsoring several events. The Chinese Acrobats will
appear Friday night in the War Memorial Auditorium.
UC/LS is also offering the musical "Don't Bother Me; I
Can't Cope" Saturday night. Elliott Hall's Nightowl
coffeehouse will present Sam Dorsey's group Saturday
night.
UNC-G theater will present "The Boys from
Syracuse" throughout the week at 8:15 in Taylor
Theater.
Student Government and The Carolinian are
co-sponsoring a dance Friday night from 9:30-12 in
Tone Ballroom. According to O'Kane, "The group
is Dionessy. Admission will be free. We're doing this
because of the Friday night program at the auditorium
Just what is "falderal?"
By definition, it means "a bit of nonsense, a
piece of finery." But more than that. Falderal at
UNC-G is an updated version of Founder's Day
events.
According to Cliff Lowery, Dean of Students for
Student Development and Programs, this is the
second year for Falderal. "We'd always had
Founder's Day, but we tried to make it a weekend,"
he said. Students, staff, and alumni decided to do
more for Founder's Day, so they conceived the idea
of carnival-like activities. Falderal is actually an
observance of the founding of UNC-G. "The campus
needed a fall weekend, and this has taken its place,"
Lowery said.
UNC-G is celebrating its 84th anniversary. Charles
Duncan Mclver is credited with leading a campaign
for the education of women, and his efforts
eventually led to the establishment of the State
Normal and Industrial School, which has evolved over
the years into UNC-G.
Numerous campus organizations are participating
in the festivities. SGA, the Alumni Association, the
Carolinian, the University Concert and Lecture
Series, and Elliott Hall are among the groups which
are active in Falderal plans. Residence halls and
service organizations will also be participating.
Lowery is optimistic in his outlook for this year's
Falderal. "Co-operation is the major key in pulling
off Founder's Day," he said. "I want to build a
tradition of co-operative effort."
with the Chinese Acrobats. We're having a concert here
for the students who choose not to go. But for those
who do go to the Chinese Acrobats' the concert is set up
so that they can catch the major portion of the people."
Sports activities will also be part of the planned
events. The UNC-G varsity soccer team will play faculty
and alumni Saturday at 3 pjn. "Larry Marbert and John
Whittemore helped organize it, and they are inviting
faculty and alumni people to come back and play in
coordination with soccer coach Joe Lukaszewski,"
O'Kane said.
SGA will present a fireworks show Saturday night
over the golf course. O'Kane called the fireworks "an
excellent program."
O'Kane told The Carolinian that SGA has spent
$2350 for Falderal activities. "We think this is money
well-spent because it's going to a wide range of activities
that all the students can take part in. They can see
student money spent on students," he concluded.
The Neo-Black Society's choir will lead the
procession to the Sunday evening convocation. The
guest speaker for the program will be Norman Cousins.

A major part of Founder's Day weekend will be an
address by Norman Cousins, editor of Saturday Review.
In his address, scheduled for 8:15 p.m. in Cone
Ballroom of Elliott Hall, Cousins will touch upon the
topics of the intellectual and cultural quality of life in
the world and their significance as we approach the
200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of
Independence.
Norman Cousins has been the editor of Saturday
Review since 1942, except for a interval of two years.
He came to the magazine in 1940, four years out of
Teachers College of Columbia University. He had
previously been education reporter for The New York
Evening Post and literary editor, then managing editor, ■
of Current History, a journal of world affairs founded by
The New York Times.
In the years of his editorship with Saturday Review,
the magazine has greatly expanded its scope and
readership from 20,000 to 500,000.
Among programs initiated by Cousins on the editorial
page of the Saturday Review was the "Hiroshima
Maidens" project in 1955. With the generous help of
physicians and other private citizens, he brought to this
country a group of young Japanese women disfigured by
the bombing for plastic surgery and other medical
treatment. He also arranged in 1958 and 1959 for
medical treatment to be given to 38 Polish Catholic
women who had been mutilated by Nazi medical
experimenters during World War II.
Following a visit to Japan, he initiated a plan for
providing proper care and education for some 440
children in Hiroshima who were orphaned by the 1945
bombing. He was head of the project "Aid to Biafran
Children," which supplied urgently-needed drugs and
medical services to the civilian population of Biafra.
Cousins has lectured on America histroy and
institutions, often under the auspices of the U.S. State
Department, in Japan, Australia, the Philippines,
Singapore, India, Ceylon, Pakistan, Indonesia, West
Germany, i-inland, Ethiopia, the Soviet Union, Poland,
and Rumania. In 1961, he represented the United States
at the Tagore Centennial in India and at the dedication
of the National University in Addis Ababa in 1962.
Cousins was American co-chairman, with Philip E.
Mosely and David Rockefeller, of the five "Dartmouth
Conferences" between leading citizens of the United
States and of the Soviet Union. In 1965 he was the U.S.
Presidential Representative at the Inauguration of the
President of the Philippines.
Cousins is President of the World Association of
World Federalists, which is working for peace through
world law, and Honorary President of World Federalists,
U.S.A. He is a member of the Board of Directors of the
Charles F. Kettering Foundation and the Samuel H.
Kress Foundation. Cousins has chaired the National
Programming Council for Public Television, and has
served as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Dag
Hammarskjold College; past vice-president of P.E.N. , a
world organization of writers, editors, and publishers;
and past president of the Overseas Press Club
Foundation.
Cousins received the personal medallion of Pope John
XXIII in 1963, for his part in the successful negotiations
with Premier Nikita Khrushchev of the Soviet Union,
that led to the release from prison of Slipyi of the
Ukraine and Archbishop J. Beran of Czechoslovakia. In
1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Cousins
chairman of the Committee for Culture and Intellectual
Exchange for International Co-operation Year.
In 1966, Mayor John V. Lindsay of New York
appointed Cousins chairman of his Task Force on Air
Pollution. The report of this force was accepted by the
mayor as the basis for a widespread campaign against the
hazards of environmental poisoning.
U Thant awarded Cousins the Peace Medal of the
United States in his last official act as Secretary-General
of the United Nations.
Cousins and his wife have four daughters and live in
New Canaan, Conn. They also have an adopted daughter
from Hiroshima. Some of Mr. Cousins interests other
than writing are photography, tenni: jolf, baseball and
chess.
